Textbook Question
Chapter 43.3, Problem 3EQ
CoreSKILL » Based on the results described here and what you have learned in this chapter, predict general differences that might be found between the brain of a professional athlete, such as a tennis player, and that of a nonathlete. What about the brain of a person who has been deaf from birth compared to that of a person with normal hearing?

3. What functional losses would you expect to observe in a patient who has suffered injury to the right occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex? To the right temporal lobe?
HINT Think about the neural pathways for vision and hearing. Does the right side of the brain receive information from both the right and left ears? Does the right side of the brain receive information from both the right and left eyes? Does the information from the right side of the field of vision go to both sides of the brain? Does the information from the left side of the field of vision go to both sides of the brain?
Which of the following is an illustration of experience-dependent plasticity?
A) Rats raised in cages with toys have more dendritic spines and more synapses per neuron than rats raised in cages without this stimulation
B) The brain expects experiences that all humans have (such as visual and auditory input) and uses them to shape the structure of the brain.
C) Adults who became blind early in life were better able to discriminate musical pitch than were those who became blind later in life.
D) All of the above
Include a 5-10 sentence explanation of how the ear senses sound and relays that data to the brain to interpret auditory information. Some pieces to consider:
What path does the sound travel through the ear?
What structures do the waves interact with?
How does the signal travel to the brain?
Where in the brain is the data processed?
How does this sense change with age?
What could cause deafness in humans (there are at least two major ways this can happen)?

- Trying to understand this part of the article “As white matter integrity did not return to baseline levels for any inter-injury interval (and did not trend towards returning to baseline levels in the case of the optic tract), it is possible that the window of vulnerability associated with our model may never close.” Based on the quote, what did not return when white matter integrity did not return?

Describe experiments thatinvolved looking at still pictures and that involved looking at movies. What does eachtype of experiment tell us about localization of function?arrow_forwardResearch suggests that newborns are able to discriminate their own language from a foreign language, and their mother's voice from a stranger's voice. In contrast, their visual abilities are much less developed at birth, and develop rapidly over the first few months of life. One explanation for this is: A) Fetuses get equivalent auditory and visual experience before birth, but before they are born they are only able to learn from auditory experience B) Fetuses do not experience sensory information before birth (i.e., they cannot hear, see, smell, etc.) but language develops faster than vision because it is more evolutionarily important C) Fetuses get equivalent auditory and visual experience before birth, but vision requires additional postnatal triggers to be fully activated D) Fetuses can hear many types of sounds prenatally but have limited visual experience until after birth.arrow_forward
